Chemical Composition and Insecticidal Potential of Essential Oil from Murraya koenigii (L.) Obtained by Natural Deep Eutectic Solvents.

Aphis craccivora Koch and Planococcus lilacinus Cockerell are phloem feeders and act as vectors for transmitting plant viruses to agricultural and horticultural crops thereby damaging them. The persistent and widespread use of synthetic, wide-spectrum pesticides has resulted in resistance development that is detrimental to the environment, human health, and natural enemies of pests. The present investigation uses various extraction mediums to examine the insecticidal efficacy of essential oils (EOs) isolated from Murraya koenigii (L.

Assessing the Efficacy of Arthrocentesis in Managing Temporomandibular Joint Disorders and Internal Derangements: A Case Series.

Internal joint derangements (IJD) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) encompass a multifaceted array of conditions that have the potential to induce a gradual decline in joint health, ultimately resulting in persistent pain and disruptions in daily living. The management of these conditions poses significant hurdles to achieving effective pain management and restoration of normal TMJ functionality, presenting ongoing challenges in the medical field. At present, the approach of utilizing arthrocentesis in conjunction with intra-articular injections containing corticosteroids (CSs) and hyaluronic acid (HA) is a commonly employed method aimed at addressing chronic pain, surpassing the outcomes of more conservative treatment modalities.

HIF-1α and MIF enhance neutrophil-driven type 3 immunity and chondrogenesis in a murine spondyloarthritis model.

The hallmarks of spondyloarthritis (SpA) are type 3 immunity-driven inflammation and new bone formation (NBF). Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) was found to be a key driver of the pathogenesis of SpA by amplifying type 3 immunity, yet MIF-interacting molecules and networks remain elusive. Herein, we identified hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF1A) as an interacting partner molecule of MIF that drives SpA pathologies, including inflammation and NBF.

Cyperus rotundus L.: Invasive weed plant with insecticidal potential against Aphis craccivora Koch and Planococcus lilacinus (Cockerell).

Cyperus rotundus L. is a widely distributed invasive weed plant with vast traditional medicinal uses. Herein, the methanolic root extract of C.

High-throughput virtual screening of potential inhibitors of GPR52 using docking and biased sampling method for Huntington's disease therapy.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a rare and progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by polyglutamine (poly-Q) mutations of the huntingtin (HTT) gene resulting in chorea, cognitive, and psychiatric dysfunctions. Being a monogenic condition, reducing the levels of the mutated huntingtin protein (mHTT) holds promise as an effective therapeutic approach. GPR52, an orphan G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), enriched in the striatum, is a novel target for slowing down the progression of HD by lowering the mHTT levels.

Valorization of coffee bean processing waste for the sustainable extraction of biologically active pectin.

The dry method of coffee processing generates a significant amount of coffee husk, an agricultural waste for which currently there is a lack of profitable use, and their disposal constitutes a major environmental problem. Pectin was extracted from coffee husk using citric acid solution (pH 1.5) by microwave-assisted extraction method, followed by using ice-cold ethanol.

Identification of Prognostic Markers and Potential Therapeutic Targets using Gene Expression Profiling and Simulation Studies in Pancreatic Cancer.

Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has a 5-year relative survival rate of less than 10% making it one of the most fatal cancers. A lack of early measures of prognosis, challenges in molecular targeted therapy, ineffective adjuvant chemotherapy, and strong resistance to chemotherapy cumulatively make pancreatic cancer challenging to manage.

Objective: The present study aims to enhance understanding of the disease mechanism and its progression by identifying prognostic biomarkers, potential drug targets, and candidate drugs that can be used for therapy in pancreatic cancer.

Hard and Soft Tissue Relapse After Different Genioplasty Procedures: A Scoping Review.

The chin is a crucial component of facial aesthetics, and 20% of craniofacial problems require repair of the chin size, shape, and position. Genioplasty is used to treat irregularities in all three planes of the chin. Specific hard and soft tissue relapses following various genioplasty techniques have not been adequately studied in the literature to date.

Insecticidal and Detoxification Enzyme Inhibition Activities of Essential Oils for the Control of Pulse Beetle, (F.) and (L.) (Coleoptera: Bruchidae).

Pulse beetle is the most harmful pest attacking stored grains and affecting quality and marketability. Continuous use of chemical-based pesticides against pulse beetle led to the development of insecticidal resistance; essential oils (EOs) can be an effective natural alternative against this pest. The main objective was to study the chemical composition of seven EOs viz.

Phase II trial of a novel chemotherapy regimen CVEP (cyclophosphamide, vinblastine, etoposide and prednisolone) for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-associated lymphomas.

Management of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related diffuse large B-cell (DLBCL) and plasmablastic lymphomas (PBL) poses significant challenges. The evidence supports use of dose-adjusted EPOCH (etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide and doxorubicin) with or without rituximab as first-line therapy. The need for central venous access, growth factors and significant toxicities limits its use in resource-constrained settings.

The current treatment approach to adolescents and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (AYA-ALL): challenges and considerations.

Introduction: AYA-ALL differs from pediatric ALL in terms of clinical, biological, psychosocial factors and access to care and has an inferior outcome. It is now being recognized that pediatric-inspired protocols are superior to adult protocols for this cohort, but given the lack of randomized trials, several questions remain unanswered.

Areas Covered: In this review, we discuss how AYA-ALL is different from the pediatric ALL population, compare AYA-ALL with ALL in middle and older age adults, review the studies that have enrolled the AYA cohort, summarize risk-stratified and response-adapted approaches, describe the biological subtypes, and review the novel agents/approaches under evaluation.

Bortezomib and rituximab in de novo adolescent/adult CD20-positive, Ph-negative pre-B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

The expression of CD20 in precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) is associated with poor outcomes. The addition of rituximab to intensive chemotherapy in CD20+ ALL has led to improved outcomes in several studies. However, there is no clear evidence regarding the optimal number of doses and its benefit without an allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Signature of strong localization and crossover conduction processes in doped ZnO thin films: synergetic effect of doping fraction and dense electronic excitations.

GaZnO thin films with varying Ga fraction within the solubility limit were irradiated with high-energy heavy ions to induce electronic excitations. The films show good transmittance in the visible region and a reduction of about 20% in transmittance was observed for irradiated films at higher ion fluences. The Urbach energy was estimated and showed an augmenting response upon increase in doping fraction and ion irradiation, this divulges an enhancement of localized states in the bandgap or disorder in the films.

Defect-induced photoluminescence from gallium-doped zinc oxide thin films: influence of doping and energetic ion irradiation.

Herein, we present defect-induced photoluminescence behavior of Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) thin films with varying doping (Ga) concentrations and energetic ion irradiation. The Ga-doped ZnO thin films were prepared by a sol-gel spin-coating method. Micro-photoluminescence (μ-PL) was carried out to investigate the defect-related emission with the variation of doping concentration and ion irradiation.
